So I got around to seeing Spider Man and...

None take was what I meant to post.  However, the thought of a man with a bowel cut on stilts seems to have warped my fragile little mind.  (That and Spider-man fighting a man in a Godzilla suit in the middle of the sewers.)

Just as an aside: Spider-man has met Godzilla.  Way back when Marvel had the rights to publish "Godzilla" comics.

Now, is it sad that I know this?

Aw, hells no. I remember that awful comic. I remember the cigar-chomping SHIELD idiot in the bowler and his upright-but-funky Black sidekick floating around in their Dick Tracy space-buckets, and I remember Dr. Demonicus and his menagerie. THAT's sad.

Not as sad as a man with a "bowel" cut, though. :)

Squishy

God help me, I just remembered the "Kenny" character and his giant robot, Red Ronin. Eeeeeeeeeeee it burns eeeeeeeeeee

Cullen

It might have been awful -- it's been years since I had one in hand -- but I LOVED that comic as a kid.  I have tons of fond (if faint) memories of that series and the Marvel "Shogun Warrior" series.  

You just can't find those comics anywhere any more.  Probably cost an arm and a leg if you did.

I think they should re-invent the franchise as Peter-Porker - Spider-Ham.  I don't know if I was the only kid that read (and loved) this comic, but after Spider-Man doing so poorly at the box-office it really needs a re-vamp.  Plus, Joel Schumacher should direct Freddie Prinz Jr. in the Porker role.  AND MECHANICAL WEB-SHOOTERS ON THE PIG!

Comics2film.com reports a rumor that Robin Williams is being considered for Doc Ock. Just a rumor. Still, I and officially scared.

Cullen

The reviews have been good for Williams' preformance in "Insomnia" and he might well do a good job as Ock.  But...I don't know.  He doesn't strike me as Otto Octavius.  Course, William DaFoe didn't strike me as the Green Goblin, either, until after I saw the movie.

The worst rumor I heard about Ock casting came years ago.  Arnold Schwarzenegger as Doc Ock.  Talk about wrong for the part...

Squishy

Schwartznegger? Holy crapfest, Batman!

True, Williams finally took a break from his recent rut of manic "Jesus"-figure roles to play even scarier loons, both in Insomnia and the upcoming One Hour Photo, but every time I try to picture him as Ock, I keep seeing him in Toys for some reason. And he won't stop screaming at the camera.

Now I'm having visions of a new Superman movie--Nicholas Cage is there in his dream role, Arnold Schwartznegger is Lex Luthor, Alicia Silverstone is Lois Lane, Danny DeVito is Mister Mxyzptlk, and Patrick Stewart is camping it up as Brainiac...in drag.

With Mark Pillow as Nuclear Man.

I'm officially starting my campaign for Lance Henriksen as Doc Ock right now.

Mark Pillow was the Klinton Spilsbury of his time.

J.R.

Doc Ock has to be kind of chubby and German, so sorry, Henriksen is out. I'd say Martin Sheen, but he was Wynn in Spawn, and no one should be two comic villains.  Joe Estevez! Naw, I'm not that lucky. How about Michael Douglas? His impressive chin-butt alone would make him a daunting menace.

Whoever they cast as Doc Ock, I hope it isn't some "big name" actor completely wrong for the part, like Arnie as Mr. Freeze.

Willem Defoe was a great choice for Norman Osbourne/Green Goblin.  I wouldn\'t have thought so before I saw the movie but he surprised me.  I hope they continue casting in that vein.

Cullen

I can't see him as Ock.  Curt Conners on the other hand...

(peeing on wall) "Hello mistah Supermans...I'm like yah biggest fah-yan..."

"Pillow & Spilsbury" should do a cop-buddy picture...if anyone can find them.
